If we win, you’ll see the narrative immediately diminish Hurts. He’ll be a bum and Mahomes wouldn’t have beat a better QB than him.

All that really needs to be said about the Mahomes 'debate' is that any time a quarterback beats him, that quarterback starts to get talked about as "The best in the NFL..."
Beat Allen or Burrow or Herbert or whoever else it is they're trying to prop up and there's really nothing that comes of it. But every time someone has beaten Patrick Mahomes (other than Matt Ryan), that guy suddenly gets "You know, I think [x] might be the best in the league right now..."
It's the corollary to the idea that "You judge greatness by its graveyard..."
The fact that guys get boosts simply by virtue of beating Mahomes says all that needs be said.
